differently.

After having my Primcast.com dedicated server suspended, I signed up for
a dedicated server from Psychz Networks in their Dallas location to run
a FreeBSD-powered Tor exit relay.

If you want a Windows relay, you'll have to configure manually whether
you like it or not. It's hard (Tor is Unix-native),
If you want an alternative exit relay host (other than the common ones
like OVH, Scaleway, or Hetzner), one option is Server Room/Primcast
(same company). I use Primcast for a 300 Mbps FreeBSD exit and have been
happy with them.
Server Room/Primcast is not the "best" provider, but they are

Looking at your email address, you have an ISP assigned email. Unless
you work for Spectrum, you shouldn't use an ISP email account. I'd
advise you either:
* Sign up for a third-party email service like Gmail, Outlook,
ProtonMail, or Tutanota
* If you can maintain one, run your own email
Keifer,
I think your Cron script is problematic.
The script:
0 0 1 * * apt-get update apt update && apt install -y --only-upgrade tor
killall tor tor
Would kill Tor and since you don't have "&& tor" after the "killall
tor", it is not restarting it.
But I'd advise just giving up on cron.
If you have fiber to the home or another symmetrical speed broadband
connection (like some wireless ISPs like Webpass), you may have a lot of
upstream speed. In this case it's perfect for Tor relays. If you do,
invest in a good router with a big enough NAT table if you don't have
one, flash
overloaded (or have bad peering with Verizon)? Or is it just the relay
ramp-up phase in action?

Hi Roger,
The very short answer is that this could all be normal.
You might find some of the ideas in this wiki page useful:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/MyRelayIsSlow
Among the most important points:
* It's actually bad for the network for relays to be hitting their
Roman,
But then again the upload will be barely utilized by typical
residential
Internet users.
True.
Still my recommendation is to test your bandwidth in multiple ways
first,
be it speedtest.net, or (better yet)
https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli,
or iperf3 servers, if you can find
I usually do it in torrc, but am experimenting with letting my ISP/host
(Verizon FiOS and GTHost.com) traffic shaping do this on unmetered connections.
The reason for this is because I learned about bandwidth accounting as
mentioned on an earlier post here:
both you and I :)
Sounds great.
